Mound in Ballyvaldon

Marked only on the 1924 ed. of the OS 6-inch map and situated on the S bank of a small W-E stream c. 900m from the sea-shore. This is a flat-topped, grass and scrub-covered earthen mound (dims of base 16.5m E-W; 14.5m N-S; dims of top 7m E-W; 4m N-S; H 2.2-2.5m). There is no visible fosse. The church (WX027-036001-) is c. 75m to the W, on the other side of the stream. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Wexford' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1996). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload/revision: 17 July 2012
